Good morning. It is great you got it. I am waiting for mine for a while now. I have the same thing undertaking length (months) : 36. That may be the months you have to support your husband after he is in Canada, for parents it is 10 years. It means they cannot apply for CPP, etc before 10 years maybe something similar for spouse. Ahmelina generally knows the notes reading well. What do you have under security for example in admissibilities page 8, application page 22 and activity page 26 or so? What is the application assignment due date on page 2?
Hi Everyone,

One year passed.
I also received my new notes today. I wanted to ask you all what do you have on your notes page 3, 'Undertaking length (months): 36
Mine says 36! what does yours say and what is this?

Thank you Strength for sharing this letter.
Also can you check whop wrote the major notes for you? Do you have SB10820 and GL00560?

Hopefully you will hear back May 25th. I meant application and activity sections not associations. Anyways I think security things are blank. But I have couple of security screening under activities not just one.

Just spoke with my lawyer. He said they wrote a request to program manager at v/o office, no reply. It's like a dead end. So what are we supposed to do? May be we really have to organize petition? And not only for Iranian applicants, but from people who are dealing with Ankara office in general.My lawyer also mentioned that Ankara has poor communication with the applicants.Personally, i don't believe that we are all stuck in security checks. It's just they are hiring local people who are not in a hurry, or don't have enough knowledge. Government should step in.

I agree with you. I think if we are all stuck it means something is wrong with Ankara. Because if I assume Iran is not collaborative, what about Gorgia and Azarbaijan? Why are we all stuck. Altogether we are 9 (2 wives, 7 husbands) in this forum. We should all write the petition and sign and send it to ministry of immigration, Ankara, etc. Maybe those of you who have lawyers can talk to them about the petition form and see what they say. It is our life don't just sit down and wait. I also talked to cbc go public but their season is ending June and they already have stories till end of June and they will be close till Sep but They asked me to contact them after labor long weekend.

That's great! Hopefully they will reply to your lawyer.
My lawyer also wrote to Ankara 2 weeks ago but they still haven't responded :(

Ankara does have a poor communication with applicants, they only contact us when they need something in order to proceed with the application. Yes, maybe people there are not in a hurry, but I doubt it's because of lack of knowledge. It's a serious department, they definitely go through an extensive training to be able to get a job at the visa office.
There is something else going on which is related to security check, that's why they're not saying anything. Or someone made a mistake and red flagged our cases...which I really hope is not true!

I never thought that it will take THAT long and still waiting...
However, I checked many people from 2014-2015, a lot of them waited for a year or a bit over a year.

We can wait another 1-2 months but we should have plan B to prepare the petition from, etc

meanwhile please all of you go and fill a complaint form for Ankara if you haven't done so. It can be anonymous. It is important that CIC knows what is going on. If they get 10 complains about the same office they will take it serious
